Problems with beavers
Beavers are North America’s largest rodents and can weigh up to 74 pounds. Their large, flat tail makes them easy to identify. They are known best for felling trees and building dams and houses across flowing streams. Beavers eat green tree bark, willow rootlets, grasses, cattails, tules and pond lilies.

If beavers are eating trees

Wrap tree trunks with stiff wire, from the ground up to about 3'. Paint the trunk with brown latex paint. (Anecdotal evidence shows brown works best.)
